New here, picked up a C300 for my girlfriend and did a few mods.
Had the car a few weeks and so far only mods are smoked taillights, painted black roof, AMG style grill, roof wing, a few LED bulbs, and carbon fiber emblem inserts.
Hope to soon get some AMG wheels and AMG style bumpers.

My friend works at a body shop and smoke all of my lights for me. He thins out some Black automotive paint and does about 3 coats.
I havn't tried that niteshades brand before but i did use a similar product a few years ago. No matter how hard i tried, i couldn't get a really good shine out of it.
The Honda Del Sol on the right was the one i did with the can spray. The Audi on the left is tint film from www.stickercity.com/

Thanks,
The Escalade and the FX45 is mine.
Del Sol and G35 was my girlfriend's old car.
The LS600hL is my parent's car. I picked it up for them a couple of years ago and drive it every once in a while. Its a comfortable road trip car.
My other car is a 2000 Audi TT but it stays in the garage more then its driven these days.

Real nice TT... a little too much on the cladding for my taste, but nice.. 
Don't turn that car into a Garage Queen... too nice for that... enjoy it man! 
The chrome comes right off... took me 15 min. a side last weekend. Set blow-dryer to medium/hot, warm one section at a time, then use 25lb fishing-line to slowly cut through the 3M double sided tape. Once a side is finished, simply peel off the tape on the car, or use pure Naphtha (HomeDepot) to remove all remaining tape and left over glue. It will not harm paint or plastic. After it's all off, apply at nice coat of your best wax... done!

The TT, Its a really fun car to drive but the car is just so old that I'm sacred to drive it. Its constantly in the shop because if its not one thing its another. I'd be scared to own another Audi no matter how nice they look. So far I've rebuilt the head on my first motor, years later got a second motor, new alternator, almost burned down the car twice because of the ratiator fan because when they go out they just catch on fire, plus random electrical problems. I think I'm getting close to the point where I've replaced so much that I'll be problem free soon.
This car has seen the flat bed more then all of my other cars combined.
